FRANKFURT - Tesla Inc said it had resumed tree cutting in Gruenheide, Germany so it can construct its first European car and battery factory following moves by environmentalists to stop local deforestation.
“Tree clearance is proceeding in an orderly manner,” Tesla said on Friday. There were no environmentalists holding up the process, Tesla’s spokeswoman Kathrin Schira said in a statement. Tesla wants to start production in 2021, but environmentalists have exploited legal loopholes in the planning process to halt felling of trees until an environmental audit is finalised to gauge whether any rare species could be endangered.
The court’s decision was welcomed on Friday by Germany’s industry association BDI and economy minister Peter Altmaier.Lawmakers from Germany’s pro-business Christian Democrat and Free Democrat parties had warned that the legal battle waged against the Gigafactory would inflict serious damage on Germany’s image as a place to do business.
Anyone that thinks EV (battery) vehicles are green will buy a london bridge as well. Nothing clean about mining lithium or trying to charge them with each new charge. Even if you had a magical extension cord and no battery it wouldn't be green. unless you own a damn. :D
